My whole wedding planning and the process was a breeze, not to say stress-less,
but I tried not to be a bridezilla, and I did! Everything was going smoothly,
and all the vendors did well in their respective field. I am glad that I hired
all the correct people who can deliver!

(note: I engaged by guzheng’s teacher band as my live band that night.
It was the best decision ever made! The music consisted of English and Chinese
songs played with Western and Eastern instruments. I hired a 5-piece band –
keyboard, guzheng, erhu, flute, pipa / guitar without any vocal. Everyone enjoyed
the music that night.

Wedding Biscuit (Betrothal Ceremony): Tong Kee, Damansara Uptown

(note: very tasty)

Bride’s Wedding Shoe: Aldo

(note: Although I very much wanted a white bridal shoe, but after
countless considerations (i.e only can wear one time, expensive, hard to match with dinner gowns etc), I
finally gave up the idea of buying a white bridal shoe. In my mind, I was
thinking to have silver shimmery shoes, and I came across this Aldo and that’s
it, my one Aldo shoe that matches all my gowns that night.)

(note: Dad went to Guang Zhou to play golf, so I gave him my
measurements and some photos of QunKwa that I am interested to see whether he
can get something there. This is it: A very beautiful QunKwa on my wedding
day).

Bride’s Accessories:

Morning pearl necklace and earrings – hand made by my mom;

Morning white flower and red flower – Precious Bridal;

Dinner head piece and earrings – Precious Bridal.

Groom Morning Suit and vest: Precious Bridal

Groom Dinner Suit: Domanchi

We were afraid that Precious does not have Scott's sizing, so we went to Domanchi, Mid Valley to bought a suit (Coat and Pants). The coat cost RM500 and the pants cost RM250. We did not regret the decision as the Domanchi suit fits Scott perfectly! He looks so handsome!

Groom’s bow tie: Precious Bridal

Groom’s purple tie: Marry Merry

Bridal Bouquet: Precious Bridal

Wedding Dinner Venue: Maju Palace Restaurant @ Maju Junction Mall

(note: It is a pork-free restaurant. Well, interesting isn’t it that I
had my wedding at a pork-free restaurant. The main reason is because of my
Malay colleagues and I have grew closer with them for the past years. I want them
to share my happiness on my wedding day. The food was great that night and my
Chinese friends even praise the food).

Photobooth:

DIY with Balloons from PartyShop;

A1 size poster designed by my cousin Joanne;

Props: DIY as well as another set from cousin Joanne.

(note: Originally wanted to hire a photobooth that provides unlimited
printouts. After getting several quotations (it costs at least RM1k), I gave up
the idea. So, I ordered 50 helium balloons for RM200 and used it as background)

I am very happy with Eugene's videography for the morning and the night as well. The part where my guests greeted and wishes us at the photobooth was the part that surprised me as I did not expect that part at all! I have no regrets hiring him.

After the morning ceremony, the dai kum jie asked me not to wash my
hair as I have “wealth” sign on me. Woot! That save me some time in the
afternoon since I do not need to wash hair, although I was slightly reluctant
not to wash it. However, for my husband, I will not wash it! I want to bring
him wealth! Hahahah.

After packing the things that we are supposed to bring to the
restaurant, I managed to grab a 15 minutes nap / rest.

When we want to leave that time, it started to rain… HEAVILY! My
goodness. Our schedule was slightly delayed and my makeup artist has to wait
for me for 30 minutes.

When we reached there, I quickly went for the makeup while Scott
settles other matters. After makeup and with my hair still in curlers, I went
and practice my guzheng with keyboard player. Yup, I engaged my guzheng
teacher’s band. It is a 5 piece band that consisted of guzheng, keyboard, flute,
guitar / pipa and an Erhu. It is a western and eastern fusion band that play
English and Chinese songs.

About 6.30pm, relatives start coming in. I went back and settled my
hair. After settling the hair and changed into my white gown, we were ushered
into another room for tea ceremony. The tea ceremony is for those who couldn’t
make it for the morning session.

Then dai kum jie asked me to stay inside the room and not come out
until the march in. I was like, “What! I dressed so pretty and I wanna take
pictures with my friends!”. She said she is just informing me. I didn’t follow
her instruction, so I went out and take photos table by table with my friends.

VIP table decorations

At 8.20pm, it is our march in time! So excited!

Our flower girl - Kaylee and flower boy - Jun Larm

We managed to eat the first and second course before I went back for a second change in dress. At the same time, our SDE photos slide show and video were played.

After the second march in, we were ushered on stage to do the cake cutting and champagne toasting ceremony.

Still got time to do "peace" while march in

Pouring champagne. Oh the champagne was delicious!

After watching our pre-wedding slideshow, it was my performance time! Slightly nervous but I had calmed down as compared to my rehearsal time. My hands were not shivering anymore. The lights were dimmed, so I couldn’t really see the front, and I won’t be so nervous. I managed to perform my two songs: Colors of the Wind (English) and The Moon Represent My Heart (Chinese) with just a slight mistakes. Hahaha.

Then I went for a 3rd change in gown – the gown that my BFFs got me. When I came back out, it was yum seng time. Table to table.

After that, we said thank you and bid goodbye to our guests.

After all those happenings, when I reach home, I was still wide awake! I think it was due to the adrenalin rush. I really enjoyed the day and night!
